Dear Ahmed and Your Mom,
I hope your memories will keep for a lifetime. Your brother was very special.
Thank you for being a great neighbor.
Colleen Corrigan

Dear Ahmed,
You are such a good neighbor. I am sure you and your Mom miss your brother. Your family is in my prayers.
Colleen

Dear Ahmed,
Your brother, Adel would be so proud of you and how you have worked so hard to carry out plans made by both of you years ago. I treasure you as a neighbor and friend. Adel is in heaven guiding your path.

Thinking about how you connected with 6 year old Alej, made her feel loved, bought her a stuffed Pooh bear (which she still has) and had fun together during a tough time for her. You were always able to have fun, laugh, and build comraderie in all circumstances whether it was renovating a house, moving furniture, or watching over Alej. You remain an inspiration.

A Dieu nous appartenons, A Lui nous retournons.
Courage à sa famille.
Que son âme repose en paix.

Les gens biens sont pas fait pour vivre longtemps dans ce monde,
Que Dieu Le Tout Puissant et Miséricordieux puisse lui accorder Sa Sainte Miséricorde et l’accueillir en Son Vaste Paradis.

A Allah nous appartenons, A Lui nous retournons
Allah yerahmo
Paix a votre ame

Thinking of you & your family on this time of the year. Lots of love, Fadya & the boys.

Une belle âme ne s'oublie jamais. Soit en paix Adel.
A Dieu nous appartenons A Lui nous retournons.
Ameen.

I know how hard it is to lose a loved one since I lost my husband two years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We just have to go on and appreciate each day. Colleen

indeed forever missed.. always remembered fondly.. what a wonderful person passed away..

Adel, habibi, the world definitely got dimmer with your passing, but we must not forget that 38 years ago on this very day, you began illuminating our world with rays of light so brilliant that we saw the world with kinder, humbler, and more compassionate eyes. Thank you Adel for sharing with us the inner beauty and truth of your soul every day and in every instance of our time with you. I feel fortunate and forever grateful to have shared even a single moment with you while you were physically present with us. While you left us much much much too soon, I firmly beleive that you inspired deep positive sustaining change in as many lives as you possibly could have during your time here with us. And in the same vein, while I am profoundly saddened by your absence here with us - your lessons, kindness, dean, and compassion, and goodness continue to inspire us to be the best people we can be. Mashallah, thank you for sharing you and your wisdom and graciousness with us. In love and respect for Rana, and all of Adel's family and dearest ones, Yasmeen

I remember when I saw the shared message on the social networks about you... without even knowing you, I felt a deep pain inside of me, I thought how would your people be feeling at that moment, I prayed that they would find you quick and safe...but Allah had planned it differently ...I felt so sorry to hear that you were already gone away...joined the angels above in the beautiful heavens...

Our souls were connected somehow...

We share common friends and I met you on several occasions but never got the opportunity to truly spend quality time. I wish I had gotten to know you better but all I can say now is may God rest your soul,

I will never forget the bright and full of life man you were when I met you in France... Always your brother.

"Je réitère mes dires. Il restera et sera toujours "une belle âme".
A Allah nous appartenons, A Lui nous retournons.
Allah yerahmo.""

Thinking about you today. Whenever a memory of you crosses my mind I am encouraged to carry out small everyday acts of kindness like you always did. I'm also encouraged to think about how to impact the world in that wonderfully big idealistic way you thought.

Adel - Happy Birthday. I think you at different times as we think of good friends. I thought of you this week while working on a deadline and paused for a moment to wonder how you always kept everything so light and fun. Lol.  I miss you and wish I could say Happy Birthday in person. I think of our times with Alex, you, and me, you lounging on the living room couches in apt 110 talking about life and how to change the world. It always impressed me the level of impact you talked about making. You made a big impact on the world....by simply being you.... to the lives of the people how love you and in the volume and warmth of our memories. Warmest wishes, hugs, and love to you and all the people who are thinking of you today. (Adel, I hope you are having a party today wherever you are!)

Je réitère mes dires. Il restera et sera toujours "une belle âme".
A Allah nous appartenons, A Lui nous retournons.
Allah yerahmo."

hommage à la mémoire de mon cousin ADEL

La vie des morts est de survivre dans l'esprit des vivants

Allah yerhamak ya Adel combien j aurais aime te connaitre tu es le Mari de ma niece Rana que le paradis soit ton domaine

May Adel soul Rest in Eternal Peace

I met you Adel in DC with Lilian... I had such a great time having dinner with you and your wife. I am in disbelieve but I know God took you. All I could remember is how your wife wanted "Yogurtland" and we stopped late a night after dinner. However, that little short time was fun! Thank you for giving me a chance to meet you. God bless you! See you in Heaven.

I took a class taught by Adel when I was still an undergrad at AU. He was hands down one of the best instructors I had while there. Just a generally all-around nice guy.

Rest in peace, bud.

Adel lived next door to us and really was a wonderful neighbor. Once when I was locked out he came to my rescue with a whole team of contractors and I was in my house within minutes. After the earthquake he rebuilt our shared chimneys no questions asked. He was so understanding and energetic about everything he did. He was well liked by everyone who knew him.

I feel terrible about Adel's dreadful accident. I did not know him well. But he seemed a fine and fun young guy with his whole life ahead of him. I hope his family can find peace.

j'étais terriblement choqué d'apprendre la disparition tragique de adel, fils de mon cher er frère ali. toutes mes sincères condoléances à toute sa famille.
Allah yarhamou .
Que le tout puissant l'accueil dans sans vaste paradis.
Je suis vraiment ému et je ne peux d'exprimer ma tristesse devant une telle tragédie.

Ne reste pas devant ma tombe pour pleurer ;
Je ne suis pas là,
Je ne dors pas,
Je suis ces milliers de vents qui soufflent,
Je suis le diamant qui brille sur la neige,
Je suis la lumière du soleil sur le grain mur,
Je suis la douce pluie dautomne,
Lorsque tu te réveilles dans le silence du matin,
Je suis linvasion furtive et réconfortante
De cette horde doiseaux volant en cercle,
Je suis la douce étoile qui brille la nuit.
Ne reste pas devant ma tombe pour pleurer :
Je ne suis pas là,
Je ne suis pas morte.

I didn't really know Adel. I met him once with his family in DC a few days after his wedding. I wish I had the chance to know him better. I believe he was a genuine, exceptional person. Rest in peace Adel. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It's been a month now and I still haven't been able to come up with the right words that can describe you or do you justice. It's impossible but I'll try. Over the years I came to know you as a kind-hearted, gentle soul that embraced people from all walks of life. You were fiercely intelligent and full of promise. You were self-aware, passionate about social justice and lived every aspect of your life purposefully. At the same time you were genuine and down-to-earth. You never took yourself too seriously. You made us laugh. You encouraged me to apply to grad school and I got in thanks to your help. You drove me to the airport when I had nobody else to take me. Your goodness will live on through us as we recall the memories of your generosity or silliness or conscientiousness that have left such an indelible mark on our lives.

I met Adel few times in DC and it was always a pleasure seeing him. He was smart and a social person. Always with a big smile.
you will always be in my memories.
My thoughts and prayers for your loved ones.
"Inchalah etkoun min Ahl el djana"

I met Adel in Dubai in 2005/2006 and he definitely left an impression on me. He was a good person, with a great heart and a beautiful energy. I don't think its a coincidence that many people writing tributes to him speak of his infectious positive energy.
Rest in power Adel. My thoughts go out to your loved ones.

I met Adel only once staying with my aunt in Muscat, but was struck by his energy, enthusiasm and goodness. He turned up with freshly baked bread and an enormous smile, enthusing about life. I'm so sorry for his family's loss, what a bright light has gone out. I am grateful to have met him and will keep him and his family in my prayers.

I never got the chance to meet you Adel, but I can see from talking to just one of your friends how many lives you touched, and how much you were loved and are missed. May God hold you in the palm of His hand, and comfort all those who miss you.

Adel, tu t’es eteint dans cette mer que tu aimais tant, mais tu ne nous quitteras jamais, ton souvenir restera avec nous au fil des jours, le souvenir d'un jeune homme exemplaire en tout points, un jeune homme qui ferait la fierte et la joie de n'importe quel pere ou mere.
Hadia, perdre son enfant est certainement la supreme epreuve dans ce bas monde et même si je n'ai pas vécu un tel drame, je ressens au plus profond de mon etre ce que toi et tes enfants ressentez et partage votre douleur.
Je prie le Bon Dieu de vous aider et vous accompagner dans ce calvaire.
Allah Yerhamo.

Adel, I hope you're looking down on us from heaven. If you are, you'll see how much you are loved and missed by the rest of us. I promise we'll take care of your mom, sister and brother, because they are our family.

Adel, you went too soon. To me, you are this very nice teenager who was barbequeing for us, the Aunties and Uncles, on Barka's terrace, on a hot summer evening, with a smile !!! I will always have this image of a nice, smart and very kind person. May you rest in Peace and may God give your Mum and Ahmad and Latifa Peace in their hearts.

You had such a kind spirit. Allah yerhamo. May Allah swt make it easy on everyone who cared about you.

Adel, you will be dearly missed. I so appreciated your kind heart, warm smile, and the many thoughtful and insightful contributions you made to those around you. You had a deep and positive impact on the community at American University. I will remember our conversations about social justice, international development, and personal development. While you will be dearly missed, you will be remembered and carried in the hearts of so many, both in DC and globally.

Aujourd'hui Le 15/01/2014, nous sommes tous réunis, au cimetière d'El Alia Alger, avec ceux que tu as aimé que tu as chéri et protégé.
A l’heure de l’enterrement d’un être aimé ayons le cœur plein d’amour
Les souvenirs et les pensées nous rappellent l’importance d’aimer toujours.

Le linceul et le cercueil ne sont rien… L’âme s’envole vers le Paradis
Nos belles prières et notre affection bercent le défunt, le couvrent de vie.
Sur nos visages on aperçoit une goutte qu'on appelle une larme,
Autour de nous il n'y a plus de paysage, mais de la tristesse.

Envole-toi ! Nous gardons de toi un doux souvenir que rien n’effacera
Ton enterrement nous rappelle le sens de l’existence, mourir est notre destin.

Mourir c’est vivre autrement dans un ailleurs une existence, un nouveau refrain.

Repose-toi le cœur en paix, notre deuil est beau, jamais on ne t’oubliera.

Tu as été comme une fleur,
Tu as embellie notre vie,
Puis tu disparais,
Tu veilleras sur nous là-haut,
Pour nous le ciel seras toujours bleu.
Pour réapparaître dans nos mémoires saison après saison.
Nous t'accompagnons ce jour pour le grand voyage,
Nous t'aimerons toujours gravé au fond de nous,

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you always used. Put no difference into your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow... What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. ALL IS WELL.

Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918)

اللهم ابدله دارا خيرا من داره واهلا خيرا من اهله وادخله الجنة واعذه من عذاب القبر ومن عذاب النار .
اللـهـم عاملة بما انت اهله ولا تعامله بما هو اهله .
اللـهـم اجزه عن الاحسان إحسانا وعن الأساءة عفواً وغفراناً.
اللـهـم إن كان محسناً فزد من حسناته , وإن كان مسيئاً فتجاوز عن سيئاته .
اللـهـم ادخله الجنة من غير مناقشة حساب ولا سابقة عذاب .
اللـهـم اّنسه في وحدته وفي وحشته وفي غربته.
اللـهـم انزله منزلاً مباركا وانت خير المنزلين .
اللـهـم انزله منازل الصديقين والشهداء والصالحين وحسن اولئك رفيقا .
اللـهـم اجعل قبره روضة من رياض الجنة ,ولا تجعله حفرة من حفر النار .
اللـهـم افسح له في قبره مد بصره وافرش قبره من فراش الجنة .
اللـهـم اعذه من عذاب القبر ,وجاف ِالارض عن جنبيها .
اللـهـم املأ قبره بالرضا والنور والفسحة والسرور.
اللـهـم إنه فى ذمتك وحبل جوارك فقه فتنة الفبر وعذاب النار , وانت أهل الوفاء والحق فاغفر له وارحمه انك انت الغفور الرحيم.
اللـهـم انه عبدك وابن عبدك خرج من الدنيا وسعته ومحبوبيه وأحبائه إلي ظلمة القبر وماهو لاقته .
اللـهـم انه كان يشهد أنك لا إله الا انت وأن محمداً عبدك ورسولك وانت اعلم به.
اللهم ثبته عند السؤال
اللهم انا نتوسل بك اليك ونقسم بك عليك ان ترحمه ولا تعذبه
اللـهـم انه نَزَل بك وأنت خير منزول به واصبح فقير الي رحمتك وأنت غني عن عذابه .
اللـهـم اّته برحمتك ورضاك وقه فتنه القبر وعذابه و أّته برحمتك الامن من عذابك حتي تبعثه إلي جنتك يا أرحم الراحمين .
اللـهـم انقله من مواطن الدود وضيق اللحود إلي جنات الخلود .
اللـهـم إحمه تحت الارض واستره يوم العرض ولا تخزه يوم يبعثون "يوم لا ينفع مال ولا بنون إالا من أتي الله بقلب سليم"
اللـهـم يمن كتابه ويسر حسابه وثقل بالحسنات ميزانه وثبت علي الصراط اقدامه واسكنه في اعلي الجنات بجوار حبيبك ومصطفاك (صلي الله عليه وسلم) .
اللـهـم اّمنه من فزع يوم القيامة ومن هول يوم القيامة وأجعل نفسه أّمنة مطمئنة ولقنه حجته .
اللـهـم اجعله في بطن القبر مطمئن وعند قيام الاشهاد أمن وبجود رضوانك واثق وإلي أعلي درجاتك سابق .
اللـهـم اجعل عن يمينه نوراً حتي تبعثه اّمنً مطمئن في نور من نورك .
اللـهـم انظر اليه نظرة رضا فإن من تنظر إليه نظرة رضا لا تعذبه ابداً
اللـهـم أسكنه فسيح الجنان واغفر له يارحمن وارحم يارحيم وتجاوز عما تعلم ياعليم .
اللـهـم اعفو عنه فإنك القائل "ويعفو عن كثير"
اللـهـم انه جاء ببابك وأناخ بجنابك فَجْد عليه بعفوك وإكرامك وجود إحسانك .
اللـهـم إن رحمتك وسعت كل شيء فارحمه رحمة تطمئن بها نفسه وتقر به عينه .
اللـهـم احشره مع المتقين إلي الرحمن وفداً .
اللـهـم احشره مع اصحاب اليمين واجعل تحيته سلام لك من أصحاب اليمين .
اللـهـم بشره بقولك "كلوا واشربوا هنئياً بما أسلفتم في الايام الخالية" .
اللـهـم اجعله من الذين سعدوا في الجنة خالدين فيها مادامت السموات والارض .
اللـهـم لا نزكيه عليك ولكنا نحسبه انه اّمن وعمل صالحاً فاجعل له جنتين ذواتي أفنان بحق قولك:
"ولمن خاف مقام ربه جنتان"
اللـهـم شفع فيه نبينا ومصطفاك واحشره تحت لوائه واسقه من يده الشريفة شربة هنيئة لا يظمأ بعدها ابداُُ .
اللـهـم اجعله في جنة الخلد التي وعد المتقون كانت جزاءً ومصيراُ لهم ما يشاءون وكان علي ربك وعداُ ومسئولاً .
اللـهـم إنه صبر علي البلاء فلم يجزع فامنحه درجة الصابرين الذين يوفون اجورهم بغير حساب
فإنك القائل " إنما يوفي الصابرون أجرهم بغير حساب "
اللـهـم انه كان مصلي لك ,فثبنه علي الصراط يوم تزل الاقدام .
اللـهـم انه كان صائم لك , فأدخله الجنة من باب الريان.
اللـهـم انه كان لكتابك تالي وسامع فشفع فيه القراّن وارحمه من النيران ,واجعله يارحمن
يرتقي في الجنة إلي اّخر اّية قرأها أو سمعها وأخر حرف تلاه
اللـهـم ارزقه بكل حرف في القراّن حلاوة , وبكل كلمة كرامة وبكل اّية سعادة وبكل سورة سلامة وبكل جْزءٍ جَزاءً .
اللـهـم ارحمه فانه كان مسلم واغفر له فانه كان مؤمنً.
وادخله الجنه فانه كان بنبيك مصدقً وسامحه فانه كان لكتابك مرتل.
اللـهـم اغفر لحينا وميتنا وشاهدنا وغائبنا وصغيرنا وكبيرنا وذَكّرنَا وأنثانا .
اللـهـم من أحييته منا فأحيه علي الاسلام ومن توفيته منا فتوفه علي الايمان .
اللـهـم لا تحرمنا أجره ولا تضللنا بعده .
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا اتانا اليقين ,وعرق منا الجبين ,كشر الانين والحنين
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا يئس منا الطبيب ,وبكي علينا الحبيب وتخلي عنا القريب والغريب
وارتفع النشيج والنحيب .
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا اشتدت الكربات وتوالت الحسرات واطبقت الروعات وفاضت العبرات ,
وتكشفت العورات وتعطلت القوي والقدرات .
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا بلغت التراقي وقيل من راق وتأكدت فجيعة الفراق للأهل والفراق
وقد حَمً القضاء فليس من واق
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا حملنا علي الاعناق ألي ربك يومئذ المساق وداعا ابديا للدور الاسواق والاقلام
والاوراق الي من تذل له الجباه والاعناق .
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا ورينا التراب وغلقت القبور والابواب وانقض الاهل والاحباب فإذا الوحشة والوحدة وهول الحساب .
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا فارقنا النعيم وانقطع النسيم وقيل ماغرك بربك الكريم
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا أقمنا للسؤال وخاننا المقال ولم ينفع جاه ولامال ولا عيال وقد حال الحال وليس الا فضل الكبير المتعال .
اللـهـم ارحمنا اذا نَسي اسمنا ودَرس رسمنا وأحاط بنا قسمنا ووسعنا .
اللـهـم ارحما اذا اَهملنا فلم يزرنا زائر ولم يذكرنا ذاكر ومالنا من قوة ولا ناصر فلا امل الا في القاهر القادر الغافر يامن اذا وعد وفي , واذا توعد عفا , وشفع يارب فينا حبيبنا المصطفي واجعلنا ممن صفا ووفا وبالله إكتفي يا ارحم الراحمين ياحي يا قيوم يا بديع السموات والارض ياذا الجلال والاكرام .
اللـهـم انه عبدك و ابن عبدك و ابن امتك مات و هو يشهد لك بالوحدانية و لرسولك بالشهادة فأغفر له إنك انت الغفار.
اللـهـم لا تحرمنا اجره ولا تفتنا بعده و اغفر لنا و له و اجمعنا معه في جنات النعيم يا رب العالمين .
اللـهـم انزل علي اهله الصبر والسلوان و ارضهم بقضائك.
اللـهـم ثبتهم علي القول الثابت في الحياه الدنيا وفي الاخره ويوم يقوم الاشهاد.
اللـهـم صلي وسلم وبارك علي سيدنا محمد وعلي اّله وصحبه وسلم إلي يوم الدين

Adel, you were always smiling when you came to stay with us when we lived in Oman. The hours spent on the basketball court with Shaun, Bradley and Andrew, an instant memory and the fun and laughter shared, great friendships created.
Our prayers go out to your lovely family, a life taken too soon.

Le deces est une grande douleur pour les amis et les proches que serait ce pour ma chere niece Rana a qui je souhaite qu elle vive avec les bons souvenirs de Adel qui restera dans le coeur de tous

Nous sommes tres attristes par la douloureuse epreuve qui frappe votre famille.Nous tenons a vous adresser nos sinceres condoleances.
Toutes nos pensees sont avec vous.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ ، وارْحمْهُ ، وعافِهِ ، واعْفُ عنْهُ ، وَأَكرِمْ نزُلَهُ ، وَوسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ واغْسِلْهُ بِالماءِ والثَّلْجِ والْبرَدِ ، ونَقِّه منَ الخَـطَايَا، كما نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوب الأبْيَضَ منَ الدَّنَس ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دارا خيراً مِنْ دَارِه ، وَأَهْلاً خَيّراً منْ أهْلِهِ، وزَوْجاً خَيْراً منْ زَوْجِهِ ، وأدْخِلْه الجنَّةَ ، وَأَعِذْه منْ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّار

I used to teach Adel art at ABA,Oman. I remember him so clearly - he was a lovely boy, lovely personality.I am so saddened by this tragic news and send love to his wife and family. Rose Andruskevicius(Hutchings)
